CoverDetailsSummary
The Armed Hands and Other Stories and PiecesThese pieces are full of interest. Whether Rolfe is speaking of a stange experience in Oxford, in which he defends himself from an assault by the Jesuits, or treating of charges of homosexuality made against the Borgias; whether he is recelling his excommunication in a small Welsh town, or his arrest as a spy in Venice, or writing on the curstoms of the Venetians; whether he is discoursing on the election of a pope or, in his self-appointed role of Hadrian VII, thundering his splendid Bull of Excommunication against Lord Northcliffe, Rolfe has always something fresh to say and says it in his own individual style.
Frederick Rolfe, Baron Corvo

The Life To Come - and Other StoriesRepresenting every phase of E. M. Forster's career as a writer, the fourteen stories in this book span six decades―from 1903 to 1957 or even later.
Only two were published in his lifetime. Most of the other stories remained unpublished because of their overtly homosexual themes; instead they were shown to an appreciative circle of friends and fellow writers, including Christopher Isherwood, Siegfried Sassoon, Lytton Strachey, and T. E. Lawrence. The stories differ widely in mood and setting. One is a cheerful political satire; another has, most unusually for Forster, a historical setting; others give serious and powerful expression to some of Forster's profoundest concerns.

Collected Short StoriesWritten at various dates before World War I, these 12 stories contain themes that were to re-emerge in E.M. Forster's later work. They demonstrate his belief in freedom, self realization and a spiritual honesty that may be used to defeat the lies of repression.

Delilah's: Stories from the Closet Till Closing TimeGlasgow is full of invisible lovers because it's a city where it's hard to be gay. Couples can't easily kiss in the park. They pretend for years to their families that their partner's 'a friend'. And families find it hard to accept that 'friend' - so many people never come out. Some folk look for one-night stands, others can't get anything else. But at Delilah's it's ok to be who you are, as long as you're honest. It's a happy place, always party time, and this is the book where you'll meet Joanie, the bar manager, Mamma and Papa, and all the regulars, as well as those passing through, because at Delilah's no one is invisible. From the big-hearted to the big-haired, Delilah's is in sympathy with the gay community, but with a lot of laughs.

FluxFlux is David Rees's second collection of stories. It is as wide in its range as 'Islands' (his first) - experiences of childhood, schooldays and adolescence as well as the pleasures and disappointments of maturity and choice. Its moods are equally varied, shifting from the intense to the low-key, from seriousness to high comedy; and the settings are always a pleasure: Rees can evoke a scene in Hawaii or Leningrad or a small town in California as effectively as London or Paris. Some of these stories look back to the way we were, while others reflect the shadow AIDS casts over our lives.

Letters to DorothyLetters to Dorothy is Rees's third collection of short stories. His continuing interest in observing gay life as it is lived in foreign cities is evident from the settings of many of these stories - Venice, Florence, Rotterdam, Istanbul, Prague, Budapest and Moscow - though London and his native Devon are not left out.
Man's inhumanity to man with regard to HIV and AIDS is the major theme of the second half of this collection.
